Vegan Cheesecake | Nourish Nature

I made these little treats over the weekend for a family Christmas party, they were absolutely amazing! (not to brag or anything) These babies are not only free from animal cruelty but also from gluten, peanuts, soy, and other allergens one might find in your average cheesecake.
